Radiography Program
Program Effectiveness Data

The Radiography Program at Washtenaw Community College is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT). In compliance with the JRCERT Standards for an Accredited Educational Program in Radiography, the Program’s Effectiveness Data (credentialing examination pass rate, job placement rate, and program completion rate) must be made available to perspective students and the general public. The following are program effectiveness data for the Washtenaw Community College Radiography Program.

Program Completion Rate

The program completion rate is calculated by dividing the number of students who completed the program within 150% of the stated program length by the number of the students initially admitted to the Program. This rate fluctuates based on the number of students who voluntarily withdrew or were dismissed from the program for academic or personal reasons.
